Marriage Records of Scioto County, Ohio, 1803-1860 - Paperback

by Caryn R. F. Shoemaker (Author), Betty J. S. Rudity (Author)

Scioto County, Ohio, lies directly north of the Kentucky counties of Greenup and Lewis. Its marriage records begin in the year 1803. Unlike most marriage records, which usually consist of a single entry in a marriage register, Scioto County marriage records derive from a whole range of sources. This present work draws on every available record in the county courthouse--affidavits (applications for license), letters of [parental] consent, ministers' returns, and marriage record books maintained by the county clerk.
